A man in an orange-saffron shawl and orange dhoti sits cross-legged on an ornate silver-and-red throne, holding a handheld microphone in one hand while the other gestures outward during a discourse. He has long dark hair, a full beard and white forehead markings, and a red thread is tied on his wrist. Beside the throne, a priest in white dhoti with a rudraksha mala sits on the floor, and a man in a white shirt with a folded-palm pose sits near the front. Behind them a large audience of mostly seated people, some in dark T-shirts, fills the hall. Gold trident-shaped staffs and a deity murti stand on a red and blue backdrop.
